Seven districts
The city is divided into seven districts: Code Quarter, Creative Valley, Robotics Lab, Mediasphere, Science Park, Game Park and Future of AI. Each one is its own subject.
OYQALA
AI City — a city of knowledge for children
OYQALA is an online platform about artificial intelligence for pupils in grades 4–8. You explore the districts of the city, read lessons, build projects and talk to NOVA.
What is here
The book, verbatim
The courses are built on “AI made simple”, a book written by specialists at AITIZ LTD. It is published on screen in full and unchanged — not one sentence has been rewritten. The book's text is in Russian; the platform's interface is in three languages.
NOVA, the AI mentor
NOVA does not hand over a finished answer. It first finds out what you already know, then takes one step past it. There is more about this on the “How it works” page.
What is ready and what is not
Parts of the book are open in five districts today. The courses for Robotics Lab and Game Park are still being written — open those districts and that is exactly what they say. We do not fill the gap with invented courses.
Who runs the project
OYQALA is built by AITIZ LTD in Astana. Kazakh is the product's first language: the copy is written in Kazakh rather than translated from Russian.
